True.

since it was the umpire’s call, the original decision stayed after review (even though ball only clipping the leg stump)

However if the umpire had given it N.O. and Ball had reviewed it, the original N.O. decision would have been upheld (as ball hitting less than half of the stump)

Exactly my point. The umpire can always call close decision one way. And his call will be upheld. While politically correct western commentators - David Lloyd included - will never see this bias or never acknowledge it, I have seen it so many times it hlgets old in a hurry.

If we are using DRS, stick to the electronic result. Forget about umpires call stands on close calls.

And if we are going to use umpires call stands on close cqlls, at the very least, do not charge the challenging team with that count when they lose the challenge.

One Asian umpire whom I have see rule against India like western umpires do is Dharmasena. At least when I have seen him.

Aleem Dhar is the fairest umpire. I have full trust in him.
